Event
Saluting Veterans
Join us on November 8th as we dig in to a topic we feel passionately about: Supporting our veterans.
Rosecrance experts and special guests with lived experience will spend the day advocating for veterans who are in need of behavioral healthcare by discussing barriers to access and ways to overcome them.
Throughout the day, information will be presented on trauma-treatment-specific services, insight into the connection and relationship between co-occurring disorders, and how Rosecrances Resilience services have been tailored to meet the needs of veterans.
Additionally, attendees can expect to learn about the difficulties veterans encounter when seeking behavioral health services, programs designed with veterans in mind, what can be done to eliminate barriers to access, and how we can help in that process.
Those attending will be provided a continental breakfast with coffee from Firehouse Coffee and a complimentary lunch from Mission BBQ and a complimentary copy of "Faith, Family, & Flag: Memoirs of an unlikely American Samurai Crusader" by Maj. Gen. Mukoyama.
